Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament Finals

Digital card game looks for US champion.

The online digital card game Yu-Gi-Oh! is looking to crown a US champion. 16 of the nation's best duelists will be pit against each other to decide which five players will travel to Japan to compete against the top players in the world.

"Through this tournament, we are supporting the Yu-Gi-Oh! community by giving the best duelists around the country the opportunity to show off their skills, share in their experiences and prove who will be the ultimate Yu-Gi-Oh! video game champion," said Geoff Mulligan, chief operating officer of Konami Digital Entertainment America.

Too late...

I guess Konami doesn't realize that most of it's Yu-Gi-Oh fans have moved on to newer and better things. With the insane amount of games that have been produced (many of which shouldn't have been produced...) the world has gotten more of Yu-Gi-Oh than we can handle or want. Sure they're be a few people duelling online, but I think that most of us could care less about this.

So that's what those cards are for...

Yeah, Yugioh Online has been testing for a while now (I haven't been impressed)and they sent out free Duel Passes to ShonenJump subscribers. A few months before they had sent out a Yugioh Online cd too, but you didn't need the passes then. Apparently this is how it plays out.

Here at last

I have'nt played Yugioh for a while and now, and I could never get the online Beta to work. Now I have the real thing, and it promises to be good. Finally I can test my skill against overs around the world.

I guess... you gotta pay

Well, i'm just checking this information for my girlfriend's little brother who just LOVES Yu gi oh...
That means it's like Magic the gathering online. The same thing. Pay for boosters and expansions...
His parents won't be pleased with that...

2 Years Ago, I would have killed for this.

When I was into Yu-Gi-Oh, about two years ago [ my friends and I were crazy over it ], I would have done just about anything to secure a place in this game... But they've released it a tad bit late to catch much attention. Hopefully it's an MMO or something --- That might be cool. Running around and offering a friendly battle with unsuspecting noobs?
